The CEO of a multinational company wanted a new human resource team that operated in Guangzhou (China) to recruit and select 85 individuals for different positions throughout the enterprise. These positions included finance managers, production managers, security guides, workers for the factories, secretaries and interns. The members of the human resource team that dealt with these tasks were highly diverse in terms of their educational background (e.g., marketing, law, human resource, public relations, general business administration) and countries of origin (e.g., Canada, China, Germany). The team had to deal with a series of challenges in order for the project to be successful. These issues included a decision about task-specific job requirements, methods to assess these job requirements, strategies for recruitment, methods for personnel selection and final decision making. The team also had to deal with diversity within the team, and cross-cultural issues as well as with the leadership behavior of its CEO.
